      tcp: fix FRTO undo on cumulative ACK of SACKed range · 666b8051
      Neal Cardwell authored
      On processing cumulative ACKs, the FRTO code was not checking the
      SACKed bit, meaning that there could be a spurious FRTO undo on a
      cumulative ACK of a previously SACKed skb.
      
      The FRTO code should only consider a cumulative ACK to indicate that
      an original/unretransmitted skb is newly ACKed if the skb was not yet
      SACKed.
      
      The effect of the spurious FRTO undo would typically be to make the
      connection think that all previously-sent packets were in flight when
      they really weren't, leading to a stall and an RTO.

      xen-netfront: transmit fully GSO-sized packets · 0c36820e
      Jonathan Davies authored
      xen-netfront limits transmitted skbs to be at most 44 segments in size. However,
      GSO permits up to 65536 bytes, which means a maximum of 45 segments of 1448
      bytes each. This slight reduction in the size of packets means a slight loss in
      efficiency.
      
      Since c/s 9ecd1a75, xen-netfront sets gso_max_size to
          XEN_NETIF_MAX_TX_SIZE - MAX_TCP_HEADER,
      where XEN_NETIF_MAX_TX_SIZE is 65535 bytes.
      
      The calculation used by tcp_tso_autosize (and also tcp_xmit_size_goal since c/s
      6c09fa09) in determining when to split an skb into two is
          sk->sk_gso_max_size - 1 - MAX_TCP_HEADER.
      
      So the maximum permitted size of an skb is calculated to be
          (XEN_NETIF_MAX_TX_SIZE - MAX_TCP_HEADER) - 1 - MAX_TCP_HEADER.
      
      Intuitively, this looks like the wrong formula -- we don't need two TCP headers.
      Instead, there is no need to deviate from the default gso_max_size of 65536 as
      this already accommodates the size of the header.
      
      Currently, the largest skb transmitted by netfront is 63712 bytes (44 segments
      of 1448 bytes each), as observed via tcpdump. This patch makes netfront send
      skbs of up to 65160 bytes (45 segments of 1448 bytes each).
      
      Similarly, the maximum allowable mtu does not need to subtract MAX_TCP_HEADER as
      it relates to the size of the whole packet, including the header.
      
      Fixes: 9ecd1a75 ("xen-netfront: reduce gso_max_size to account for max TCP header")

      When IOMM-vtd is active, once main kernel crashes unfinished DMAE transactions
      will be blocked, putting the HW in an error state which will cause further

      Current employed logic uses wrong macros, causing the first function to be the
      only function that cleanups that error state during its probe/load.
      
      This patch allows all the functions to successfully re-load in kdump kernel.

      bnx2x: Fix kdump on 4-port device · 3d6b7253
      Yuval Mintz authored
      When running in a kdump kernel, it's very likely that due to sync. loss with
      management firmware the first PCI function to probe and reach the previous
      unload flow would decide it can reset the chip and continue onward. While doing
      so, it will only close its own Rx port.
      
      On a 4-port device where 2nd port on engine is a 1g-port, the 2nd port would
      allow ingress traffic after the chip is reset [assuming it was active on the
      first kernel]. This would later cause a HW attention.
      
      This changes driver flow to close both ports' 1g capabilities during the
      previous driver unload flow prior to the chip reset.

      mac80211: fix RX A-MPDU session reorder timer deletion · 788211d8
      Johannes Berg authored
      There's an issue with the way the RX A-MPDU reorder timer is
      deleted that can cause a kernel crash like this:
      
       * tid_rx is removed - call_rcu(ieee80211_free_tid_rx)
       * station is destroyed
       * reorder timer fires before ieee80211_free_tid_rx() runs,
         accessing the station, thus potentially crashing due to
         the use-after-free
      
      The station deletion is protected by synchronize_net(), but
      that isn't enough -- ieee80211_free_tid_rx() need not have
      run when that returns (it deletes the timer.) We could use
      rcu_barrier() instead of synchronize_net(), but that's much
      more expensive.
      
      Instead, to fix this, add a field tracking that the session
      is being deleted. In this case, the only re-arming of the
      timer happens with the reorder spinlock held, so make that
      code not rearm it if the session is being deleted and also
      delete the timer after setting that field. This ensures the
      timer cannot fire after ___ieee80211_stop_rx_ba_session()
      returns, which fixes the problem.

      This is because the listening socket of TIPC topology server is not

      However, as the socket is closed in tipc_exit_net() which is called by
      unregister_pernet_subsys() during unregistering TIPC namespace operation,
      the warning can be eliminated if calling unregister_pernet_subsys() is
      moved before calling proto_unregister().
